FUSION WITH MYSELF
A TRAVELLING DANCE & MUSIC SOLO PERFORMANCE BY ŽIGAN KRAJNČAN
How to express the idea of nothing through singing, dancing, speaking, performing and intertwining it all? The research question that Krajnčan asked himself in the first performance of his solo project at the City Museum will take on different turn in Cukrarna as the new place of Fusion, while at the same time following the initial idea.
Where does an idea, tone, movement, word, thought come from? The word that best describes the origin of creation is Nothing. "All I'm trying to do is express my own vision of a complete work of art through a single person - and give the idea movement and voice," writes Žigan Kranjčan, adding: "Who I am and what I am does not define me. What I am is not what I want to become. I want to go where I have never been before. I wonder if Nothing will ever find me. There is nothing I could know or do because Nothing is the only thing I am not afraid to talk about. Nothing can go wrong except Nothing. ”
